30 Best Salad Restaurants in Albany

“Amazing place and they have lots of vegan options- go!“

“I recently visited with my brother and ordered a chopped cheese, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The staff (Sal) showed so much hospitality and made me feel welcomed. As for the food—absolutely A1! The chopped cheese was perfectly seasoned and fresh, and every bite was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.“

“Best breakfast wrap I’ve ever eaten! If you’re looking for a bougie breakfast, I’m sure you can find that someplace else. If you want the best breakfast wrap around, come here. Always a great experience, fun to meet the local regulars and have a chat while enjoying some awesome food.“

“Absolutely delicious! I had a l spinach salad with grilled chicken, beets, goat cheeze and more with a white lemon dress thru the Build Your Own Bowl option. Had it delivered so I will have to check it out in person. Great healthy tasty addition to the area. Went back and it was great in person to sit down. Lovely ladies managing. Cannot beat this in Albany for healthy eating. So many options. Got Salmon and my cousin had spicy thai chicken, edamame, black beans, feta and parmesan. Out of sight. The options somehow seem deeper than Chopt while the ambience is more humble. Small footprint but we sat comfortably on cushion benches. No calorie bubbly water and chips to finish the meal. They just need to stay open later so we can hang out!“

“Got pizza tonight and traveled quite a ways with it. So good. Worth the trip. Will definitely go back when in area again.“

“Oct 2024: Ordered via UberEats. We were so tired after driving from Vermont at midnight, wanted to have something hot, tasty in the nighttime. This place served us Falafel and Rice (all vegetarian) so tasty with sauces (I guess tamarind and hari chutney)

Vegetarian options: Falafel over rice“

“Greg and his entire staff did an amazing job on my husband's party! Everything was great! The food was phenomenal and the service couldn't have been better! Please contact Greg for parties or catering! You will not be disappointed!“

“Mr. Mamoun is the best and everything I’ve ever tried here has been so good. I’m vegan and find it very easy to tell which dishes I can eat on the website - and there are enough that I still haven’t tried them all despite eating here pretty often. The pita chips are crunchy, the hummus is creamy and flavorful, and everything else is better than you can probably imagine. Take out only which works for me. This is the #1 restaurant I recommend in the Albany area.“

“This place is a total gem! The vibe is amazing, with a clean and organized space, cool memorabilia, and great music playing in the background. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. The food is not only delicious but also incredibly affordable, and it comes out piping hot and fast. The self-serve drink dispenser is a huge plus, offering a wide range of options. And the best part? The soda actually tastes like real soda, not just sugary syrup. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, this place is a must-try!“

“Small Cafe for breakfast and lunch with in-house seating.

I’ve had a few different sandwiches here, but their soups and baked goods are my favorites.

Located on Broadway in Menands, small parking lot on the side.“

“Stopped for a quick bite and was more than impressed with how amazing the hot food was.There is a lot in terms of store variety aside from food or drinks.One drawback was parking and location as it seems to be right in the middle of several streets of college student rentals. I imagine though for those students that's a plus.

Parking: Free street parking, at night at least, but if you can find it.“

“I tried about three different things. All the base sauce or curry had different but great flavors. I asked for a Thai pepper, and it was so spicy and flavorful. I ended up slicing it and mixing it in the tom yum coconut broth for a kick. The lunch prices were really fair.“

“I typically go here with my girlfriend every few weeks or so to have some appetizers and ramen. I recommend their curry, chicken, and vegetable ramens if you avoid pork as these have a chicken or vegetable broth.

Really good food and service, always happy to visit!

Dietary restrictions: Non-pork and vegetarian options if you're limited on diet!“

“This area and the people who work here are very pleasant a lot of people who go here are not very present but they're all courteous when you go in the polite to some extent. I do like the service I do like what they have in that store and I'll be seeing them again probably although I don't live in that area anymore I appreciate one of the gentleman there that work there he was happy for me that I was leaving and I moved out of that area and I want to thank you very much for saying those kind words to me. You saw the whole picture of what I was facing and I appreciate your words.“

“Just had date night and have absolutely nothing bad to say! Brian served us and he was knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was cooked professionally, there was no feeling of “another chain restaurant “ it was delicious! Cocktails were nice, presentation was good. It was everything we needed tonight!“

“The naga chicken sandwich was AMAZING and my partner really enjoyed her crispy chicken sandwich. Love having a halal spot nearby. The prices are super reasonable- think McDonald’s prices for HIGH quality food. Staff is so friendly and quick, and it’s a cute little spot. We live nearby and will be back!

Dietary restrictions: Really great pork-free and vegetarian options!“

“It was exactly what I was looking for! It's a small spot but def worth the drive...“

“I love Sbarro’s!!If there’s one thing everyone needs to know about this amazing Pizza place is there delicious pizza and Garlic Bites. Everyone here knows me and considers me the “Regal Girl” every time I walk by. Always welcoming me with a warm smile and offering me “Garlic Bite” sample even going as far as giving me two bites.Everyone needs to come to Colonie Center: Sbarro’s and meet there friendly and welcoming staff!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Food and service was absolutely amazing. What an enjoyable experience“

“Great place to stop when passing through Albany for some quick fresh Italian food take-out for the whole family. Seriously, forget the Thruway rest areas. If you have kids whose staple food is boiled noodles and butter, no matter the time nor the day, Bellini's will satisfy, and won't break the bank. Without a Noodles & co around for at least 100 miles, Bellini's has you covered, and is a must-stop for us. I can also recommend the meatballs and sausage.“

“Very good place!! My only issue is my wife and I went there in the late afternoon and it was basically empty, between lunch and dinner and the place was excessively loud throughout the building. Even the soda machine was loud. You have to talk very loud just to place an order.“

“Everything went smooth. The staff were super friendly and made it super easy to grab a bite to eat after a long day. Make sure you definitely stop by and go grab a slice or two. For that matter grab a whole pie and why not check out other menu items as I do not believe you will be disappointed.“

“The customer service is awesome at this place. They were kind and helpful. And the food was absolutely amazing!!! Will be coming back because they serve halal food.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is halal. The workers confirmed.“

“Vegetarian options: I believe they will make any Sub you want

Kid-friendliness: The people are family friendly,they have family of their own. Parking is always been available when I've been there out in front. It's friendly place and a family friendly place. very good Subs.“

“My first time here, l ordered a White Broccoli and a Bella Philly Steak slice. All l can say is they were delicious and I will most definitely be back. Thank you.“

“Great people at the Events Office!“

“The two men that work there are the most helpful! I had my child on my hip and the guy at the counter carried my food for me. The other gentleman cleaned my spot for me. They’re always helpful any time I go there and interact positively with the customers.“

“The pepperoni pizza was so good!! The buffalo wings are even better, totally recommend this place!!!“

“Di’Bella’s is an institution in Albany - and for good reason. Di’Bella’s began in Rochester in 1918. Their bread is baked in house, their ingredients are fresh, and their meat is of a higher quality. The atmosphere is dripping in their storied history and dining in feels like dining in a working museum. The downfall of Di’Bellas is the price point for their +7 inch subs and their artificially retro vibe.

The only meal deal they had at the time of my visit was a mini meal with a 5 inch sub, 20oz drink, and chips, cookie or pickle for $9.99. For the price point, it’s a valid deal. If you want any sub bigger than that, however, it’s somewhat costly. I ordered conservatively and had the 7 inch Di’Bella Cheesesteak with a large drink and a pickle. Cheesesteak: $9.79, drink $2.99 and a pickle is $1.49. All together my meal cost about $14.27. For a more casual, laid back restaurant without wait staff, $14.27 seemed excessive. I recognize they use fresher ingredients and bake their bread in-house but there are certainly cheaper options in Albany with similar qualities.

The other compliant I have is the interior of the restaurant which was the artificial retro vibe of the tables and benches. The tables and benches need a serious upgrade. It took away from the down-home vibe they were hoping to achieve with Di’Bella’s story written on the walls. With the aggressive 2010s harsh coloring, bright lighting, and artificial retro tables and benches it seems as though the restaurant can’t decide which era or genre it is hoping to emulate.

Having said all of that, Di’Bella’s flavor is worth the visit alone. They take care of every quality of the sandwich and it shows. If you like high quality subs and exploring time honored restaurants, this restaurant is for you.“

“Awesome customer service:

I wasn’t credited a 20% online discount offer. When I got an email asking to review the experience, I mentioned it. A representative called a few days later and asked what the online order number was and what discount offer it was. 5 minutes later, I received an email confirming that the bill was adjusted. Ever wonder if anyone reads the reviews at corporate? Blaze Pizza definitely reads them. Thank you Blaze!“
